Constanța city guide

Constanța city guide
I firmly believe that the Black Sea and everything around it should be getting more attention. It’s such a mysterious and fascinating place. I almost feel like there’s something ancient hidden there, waiting to be discovered. I’ll be honest: I was absolutely in love with Constanța from the 90s. It was a diamond in the rough back then.

However, there is no historical evidence of Vlad the Impaler ever taking a single step in there. Locals are rarely even bothered with that whole vampire hype. You’d expect plastic fangs around everywhere, but ...

Bucharest city guide

Bucharest city guide
Nicolae Ceaușescu, Count Dracula, Transylvania, gloom, misery and garlic is what most people think of when Romania comes to mind. But what do we really know about this country and its capital Bucharest? The country always possessed a unique place in Eastern Europe and especially the Romanian people think they are very different from the surrounding countries. They do not even consider themselves as Balkan people. And at least as language is concerned they are very correct. Where almost all countries in the region (except for Hungary) are considered to be Slavic, Romanians can connect easier with Italians, French et cetera. After the territory of the current Romania was part of the Roman Empire for a long time it faced many wars and conflicts, not in the last place invasions by Ottomans an...
